Abstract (en)

A container (2) movable between an expanded position and a collapsed position. The container (2) comprises a substantially rectangular base panel (12), four side walls (4-7) hingedly connected to each other and to the base panel (12), a median fold line (96) crossing opposite two of the four side walls (5,7) and the base panel so that each of the opposite side walls and the base panel are foldable along the median fold line (96), and two bottom fold lines (92,94) formed on the base panel (12) and extending substantially diagonally across the base panel so that the base panel is also foldable along the bottom fold lines. The side walls of the container have top edges (9) defining an open top of the container. The container is formed of a substantially flat, single-piece blank (8).
